Arica at Heart-Centered Counseling of Colorado offers Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy (HCH) as taught at The Wellness Institute in Issaquah, WA. HCH is an incredible transpersonal (body, mind and spirit) tool for healing limiting subconscious beliefs, self-esteem, inner child, and many other issues affecting our lives. It is so powerful that few clients need more than two 1.5 to 2-hour money back guaranteed sessions. Other approaches such as the Stress Elimination Technique (SET) are also used as appropriate for rapid, permanent healing. Focus also includes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT, transgender especially) issues. Experience also includes Higher Alignment relationship coaching, Radical Forgiveness, Breath Work, PSYCH-K, non-violent communications, Reiki Master, and metaphysics consultation.

I hold a Master of Divinity from Naropa University and am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. My work integrates body-based trauma healing with contemplative practice, depth psychology, and interfaith spiritual formation spanning Buddhism, mystical Judaism, and indigenous traditions. I teach in Naropa's divinity program and have practiced in hospital, synagogue, yoga, and private-practice settings.

I founded Somatic Spiritual Counseling, a Boulder-based practice now spanning Colorado and North Carolina, offering trauma therapy, somatic work, couples counseling, spiritual emergence support, and EMDR both in-person and virtually. Our team of licensed therapists and coaches shares a common belief: healing happens at the level of the nervous system, not just the mind, and lasting change requires meeting clients where they are.

Therapy and consulting on aging. I have been privileged to serve aging and disabled adults and their loved ones for over a decade. Therapy activates healing and growth, introduces expansiveness and hope, and illuminates meaning and possibility in painful situations. I use the therapeutic space in a supportive and goal-oriented manner to help people activate their strengths, solve difficult problems, integrate change, live in the fullness of their being, and move through loss and difficulty with love.

I work with adults and elders who are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or lack of meaning and purpose in life. I use Focusing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other modalities to help my clients uncover and heal the lingering effects of developmental trauma and adverse childhood experiences.

As a certified professional coach, I work with clients who are "stuck", unclear on their next steps in life, or unable to sustain the motivation and momentum necessary to achieve their goals.

I offer a subspecialty in workplace issues. Drawing on my training and experience in executive coaching, organizational development, and employment law, I can help you to work through poor job fit, leadership challenges, workplace conflicts, poor organization or time management, and other blocks to your optimal performance and job satisfaction.
